On June 18, get a sneak peek at the new ‘Front Street Mews’

One of the two options for Front Street Mews to be presented for feedback at a June 18 public open house.

The sun will soon shine again on Antique Alley.

When half of the the great grey hulking parkade is torn down to daylight Front Street, the strip between Begbie St. and Sixth St. will be transformed into Front Street Mews, a traffic-calmed, pedestrian-friendly shopping street featuring wider sidewalks, street trees and street furniture.

On Thursday, June 18 from 5-7pm, the City of New Westminster is hosting a public open house in the Anvil Centre ballroom to share their vision for the new and improved Front Street. Check it out if you want a sneak peek at the transformation planned for Front St. or to share your opinion on the proposed design recommendations.

Wow!!! It will be such a change. I grew up on the Burnaby side of 10th Avenue but did most shopping in New West. I use to hate the climb down from the stairway into Army & Navy — was so afraid I would fall down.

I wonder if they could bury the electrical utility cables in this instance. It seems with a new street scape, the opportunity would be there. In the illustration above, it sticks out like an old BC Tel phone booth in front of an Apple Store.
